Ricardo Ariel López Roca is an Electromechanical Engineer (UNSJ) and made educational improvements in Spain: University Expert in Educational Informatics (UNED) and Argentina: Higher Education Teaching Specialist in ICT (INFD). He works in a semi-rural school in the province of San Juan (Argentina) teaching physics.
In reference in San Juan de Fundación Evolución
Since 2004 he works on collaborative projects, exercising the roles of participant, tutor and verifier of content originality. Since then, he has interacted with the project "Atlas of Cultural Diversity" http://www.atlasdeladiversidad.net. He have participated in the projectsAdobe Youth Voices and Holiday Card Exchange In 2010 he prepared tutorials of QR Codes for the Basque country and has given workshops on its didactic use in schools in the Argentine cities of San Juan and Puerto Madryn. Participating in National instances of the Science Fair with their students with the project "A book- a QR"
In 2016, he went two of his students at the iEARN Brasilia conference where he gave a workshop on the use of a low-cost Interactive White Digital Board.
In spite of speaking only Spanish, with teachers from Taiwan the idea of collaborative work arose, from the results obtained the idea of expanding to all latitudes Project Stick arises.

Session Description
This project will be carried out with secondary school students and the main objective is to measure the perimeter of the Earth, in a similar way to that used by Eratosthenes more than two thousand two hundred years ago.
This activity will allow students to know old units of longitude, the inconveniences of their use and why the convenience of using the current measures of the International System of Measurements. In addition, make a concrete use of mathematics, put into practice experimentation as a means of obtaining information about nature and feel part of a joint project involving students from distant places.
What will educators learn and be able to do at the end of the session?
The aim is to contribute to the integration of the use of ICT in schools, favoring collaborative work and strengthening the values of respect and tolerance. Introduce the students in the measurement task and analyze the assumptions that involve a hypothesis and its incidents in the results.
Speed up skills by using geometric and trigonometric tools.
